Summary

Following the results of study IMbrave150, the combination Atezolizumab + Bevacizumab is a promising treatment option for patients with HCC.

In addition, the high intrahepatic distant recurrence rate and accumulating evidence for a metastatic mechanism encourages exploring adjuvant/neoadjuvant strategies targeting tumor growth and metastatic escape in the context of percutaneous thermal ablation for small HCC.

Local ablation of HCC is therefore an "ideal" setting for testing atezolizumab + bevacizumab in combination with ablation, with the aim of reducing the risk of recurrence.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Atezolizumab (neoadjuvant)

Atezolizumab 1200mg will be delivered as an IV infusion on Day 1 of each cycle (every 3 weeks) in neoadjuvant, for 2 cycles. The initial dose will be delivered over 60 (± 15) minutes and if tolerated subsequent infusions may be given over 30 (± 10) minutes.

PROCEDURE

Percutaneous Radiofrequency

Any RFA system (uni/multi-needle, monopolar or multi-bi-polar) is allowed. Microwave ablation or irreversible electroporation is not allowed.

DRUG

Bevacizumab (adjuvant)

Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg will be delivered as an IV infusion on Day 1 of each 3 week cycle in adjuvant, for 15 cycles maximum. The initial dose will be delivered over 90 minutes (±15 minutes) and if tolerated subsequent infusions may be given over 60 (± 10) minutes then over 30 (± 10) minutes.

DRUG

Atezolizumab (adjuvant)

Atezolizumab 1200 mg will be delivered as an IV infusion on Day 1 of each cycle (every 3 weeks) in adjuvant, for 15 cycles maximum. The dose will be delivered over 30 (± 10) minutes.
